Pinned stays on top
A pinned announcement leads the feed and Home until someone unpins it, however much is posted after it.
Post to everyone, or only to the teams and roles it concerns. Ask people to confirm they have read it, and see who still has not.
An all-staff email tells you it was sent. It does not tell you who opened it, who it missed or who needs a nudge.
One announcement, from the first word to the last person who has not read it.
1Write
Give it a title and a message. It is plain text, so it reads the same for everyone. Not ready? Save it as a draft.
2Aim
Leave it for everyone, or choose the teams and roles it concerns. Ask for an acknowledgement if people must confirm they have read it, and pin it if it should stay at the top.
3Confirm
People are told inside Thrivespace and find it in their feed and on Home. Where you asked, they confirm with one click: I have read and understood this.
4Know
Open it to see who has read it, who has acknowledged it and who is outstanding. The list is only shown to the people you give that permission to.
A pinned announcement leads the feed and Home until someone unpins it, however much is posted after it.
Save an announcement as a draft and publish it when it is right. Drafts stay out of the feed until you do.
When you publish, the people it is for get a notification in Thrivespace. Editing it later does not notify them a second time.
Each person's Home page shows their latest announcements, with a dot on the ones they have not read.
If most of what you post needs confirming, make acknowledgement the default in settings and switch it off for the ones that do not.
Search the feed, so last month's notice is still there when someone asks about it.
Bring your own records and see where your team stands. No credit card needed.
